A Simpleton's Request

What I may do
may be simple to you. 
These little acts that mean so much. 
They are but simple things, I cannot do much.
What I do accomplish added up over time
 will stand up with the highest executive.
 You will be left sitting upon your perch
 looking in hopes to gain some leverage 
from those you've left to suppress.
 the path that I've chosen is one fraught with trial and error.
 You have coasted and stayed stagnant 
always settling for mediocrity 
allowing for yourself to be blown about by every wind of doctrine! 
Buoy up the simpleton 
and stop breaking the hearts of those you love 
and you'll find a peace of mind that will  last a lifetime! 
Once you've gone to bed at night can you close your eyes with ease? 
Seek out the simple to and seek only to please!

Get up, get out, and stay out of the weeds

Often times I let my mind linger in the weeds. Lost in a pasture of things that don't really matter.  The things that need my time; The heart, the promise of peace, the joy that comes from a new born babies cry. The sadness of leaving behind the love of a lifetime to but start another adventure.  The things that tie us down and require something of us these are the things that matter the least. They are time drains. In these times the power is given to avoid.  All of these are but experience. Things that let us know that we are alive. Things that whisper that only life can bring. In these the simple things do we find the things that matter most!  Now is the time to build relationships. Now is the time to answer the call. Now is the time to climb out of the weeds and focus on the heart and the simple things prepared for man.

Listen

Listen  Sit back and you will hear the sounds of people running here and there.  All are caught up with worldly lives Forgetting what matters most Yet, All around the sounds are very clear, Clarity is the voice of peace.  Trust opens doors that  were shut And opens communication that calls on all those fighting to cease. Too often conflict arises due to misunderstanding.  To tell  a different story.  Reaction causes one another to lash out. In turn giving way to deception and fear.  the effort of peace and trust is lost. Leaving one to hope for cooler heads to prevail. Then once again to start down the road hoping to achieve some unity.

Learn From Opportunity

It is easy to find the answer when one is on the outside looking in. It is easy to be aware when not affected by outcomes. Somethings are easier left unsaid when not caught up in the emotions and fear of consequence.  It is easy to walk in the trail that others have carved. The life not lived is easy to find fault of. In the moment when decisions must be made it is easy to do what others might expect.  Now is the time to act, not to be acted upon. Be that person who looks on the heart of a man, take the opportunity to walk in his shoes. Seek to be the trailblazer rather than the vast many stuck in the ruts of life struggling to see a way out of the pain of history's mistakes.
